You paint cumulus clouds very similar to the way that I paint them. I was pleased to find a painting that I can compare mine to. It gives me an idea of what my paintings could be worth. I have sold several in the past for $50.

Hello Laurie, where can I find other artwork from you. I admired your clouds very much and it suggests to me that you have done other great works. Where can I find them.

The painting of the clouds is wonderful. I have a problem making clouds look real. You seem to have mastered it.

Artwork Details

Comments About This Piece

For this painting, I was inspired by the thunderhead clouds that glow from the moonlight at night. The clouds almost appear to be snow capped mountains, which I love. There is something mysterious yet calming about moonlit clouds. The painting is on a cradled wood panel with clean edges. It comes ready to hang.

Oil painting

Oil paint uses natural oils, such as linseed, poppy and walnut oil to bind the pigments. Oils are slow to dry, which allows the artist to rework the painting to achieve the desired effect. Also, they blend easily, which helps to achieve certain colors. With the rise of naturalism in 15th century Early Netherlandish painting, oil paints became preferred to quick drying tempera paint. Artists wanted a medium that would allow them to achieve detailed and precise effects in their paintings. Consider all of the detail in the masterpieces of Jan van Eyck and Hieronymus Bosch!

Masonite board

Masonite board is a thin, smooth panel of highly compressed wood. If not already framed, most masonite board artwork will require framing.
